Hull got back on level terms through Mallik Wilks three minutes into the second half but West Brom took the lead again a minute later when Kamil Grosicki scored against his former club and did not celebrate.Substitute Grady Diangana then put on his dancing shoes to leave two defenders for dead before squeezing a shot past goalkeeper George Long from the edge of the area to make it 4-2 and give West Brom some breathing space.
Earlier, Swansea City beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 to keep their hopes of finishing in the playoff spots alive with Rhian Brewster and Andre Ayew scoring second-half goals.
